Meyer Lanksy Signed Photo Presented in an Exhibition Quality Frame where the attention to detail makes this item worthy to present in the most noteworthy home or studio environments, a real showstopper. Meyer Lansky was a notorious American gangster who operated during the 20th century as a member of the "Jewish Mafia." He was born on July 4, 1902, in Poland and immigrated with his family to the United States in 1911. Lansky was involved in various criminal activities, from bootlegging, gambling, and extortion to money laundering and contract killing. Known as the "Mob's Accountant", along with his associate Charles "Lucky" Luciano, was instrumental in the development of the National Crime Syndicate in the United States. He was a crucial player in forming "The Commission," which was a governing body for organized crime in the United States. A member of the Jewish mob, Lansky developed a gambling empire that stretched around the world. He was said to own points (percentages) in casinos in Las Vegas, Cuba, The Bahamas, and London. Lansky additionally had a strong influence with the Italian-American Mafia and played a large role in the consolidation of the criminal underworld. The full extent of this role has been the subject of some debate, as Lansky himself denied many of the accusations against him. Despite nearly 50 years as a member/participant in organized crime, Lansky was never found guilty of anything more serious than illegal gambling. He has a legacy of being one of the most financially successful gangsters in American history. Despite many attempts to bring him to justice, he managed to elude the authorities for most of his life. Lansky died on January 15, 1983, in Miami Beach, Florida, at the age of 80.
